New Falken Azenis 615-K

November 6, 2009

Falken Tire is proud to announce the launch of the new Azenis RT615-K. While the original RT615 proved to be a dominant force in the DOT approved and truly street functional competition tire category, we’ve decided to make it even better. 
 


The K in the new RT615-K can have many meanings but none describe the second generation 615 better than KAIZEN. 
 


By definition, this Japanese word means "continuous improvement" which precisely describes the newest edition to the Azenis lineup. Visually, nearly identical to its predecessor, the subtle K on the sidewall is the only tell tale sign of what lies within its completely revised tread compound. 



Although taking uncompromised grip to the next level, the new RT retains a 200A/A UTQG rating, still making it eligible by nearly all “Street Tire Class” competition sanctioning bodies. 



Other familiar features adopted by the RT615-K include an 8/32nds molded tread design, light weight casing construction and high tension carcass resulting in superior grip, improved handling response and high speed stability.
 


With 21 sizes ideal for a wide range of today’s most popular applications, the RT615-K is refined on the track and bred for the streets.

States it's available in 21 sizes.... but the tire isn't yet listed on the web site (other than the news release).

Wonder what they will be. Would love a wider 15 than the 195.

Vulcantire.com sells them cheaper. So use that as a site to match price tires. :thumbup:

Cool to see this upgrade. The Falken fellow that was cruising the grid with his clip board making notes WAS paying attention ...
